Tumblr media
i swear to you my very reputation on the line i will give every ffxiv race more weird alien/animalistic features than they already have
#elezen I’ve decided are most similar to how I draw young plants except those aren’t feathers they are whiskers#they’re more like feelers tbh they move slightly and the small ones are rather strong but they get fuzzier as they age! like feathers.#they’re more like very very fancy and French goblins or hobgoblins mixed with elves. The whiskers are sensitive to movement and aether#and they have very thick hair and fuzzy on their tails/down their backs to keep warm. They didnt evolve to live in the cold but they adapte#AH THEY ARE LIKE FANCY MOTHS. some whiskers are very fuzzy on the ends as well#the long ones are sensitive and rather weak; it’s not uncommon to be regrowing or missing them for adventurers. elezen with them are posher#duskwight elezen have bigger whiskers and pupils#their feets have two and a half toes. they’re barely paws; as they became more organized the pads turned into more humanlike shapes#but you know what they are good for. walking in heels#walking on their tiptoes isn’t uncommon they can choose either way to do it. tired; flat feet. alert or running or what have you; tiptoes#the heel is shorter and the ball of the foot longer#their tails are not capable of grabbing nor do they even have the body language of most mammals! Instead it mostly hangs as vestigial excep#for it vibrating in frustration or excitement and children holding it for comfort#oh their whiskers are also sensitive to heat. they tend to like being warm#some elezen wishing to be rid of a particularly long or fuzzy or Inconvenient tail may cut it off. It’s cosmetic and does no damage to thei#balance or health; again; the thing is vestigial. And sometimes miqote think they’re happy when they’re annoyed.#also hrothgar you’re perfect the way you are. Big cat man you…#duskwight elezen are fuzzier. cave moth elf as opposed to forest moth elf#and aside from hyur elezen are the most ‘humanlike’#their ears are so active by the way. mobile swivelly elf ears. those ones have prick/droop body language
